Frank Barron, a cartoon writer for Hanna-Barbera who went on to create an offbeat television western and twice served as editor of the Hollywood Reporter, has died. When he got out in 1945, he returned to New Jersey and worked as the sports editor for the Asbury Park Press. Barron was twice the editor of the Hollywood Reporter — in the mid-1960s, and again in the late ’70s. Later in his career, he appeared — albeit briefly — in the 1980 film “The Man with Bogart’s Face,” cast as a reporter. Barron, who died in North Hills on Oct. 23 of natural causes, is survived by his wife, Margie.
